Abstract:

A simple and fast sample purification method was developed based on magnetic nanoparticles. The present work aimed at purifying the analytes by removing the matrix interferences. Magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified with N-(n-propyl)ethylenediamine (Fe3O4-PSA) and the commercial C18 were selected as the cleanup adsorbents. They can remove the target interferences of the matrixes, such as organic acids and non-polar compounds. The amounts of Fe3O4-PSA and C18 were systematically optimized for selecting the suitable purification conditions. The simultaneous determination of 52 pesticides and 8 related metabolites in kiwifruit was established by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Method validation was performed including the linearity, sensitivity and matrix effect of the method. The results displayed that these pesticides showed good linearities ranging from 2 to 250 μ g/L. The recoveries of the kiwifruit samples at three spiked levels ranged from 76.0% to 121% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 13.8%. Compared with the QuEChERS method based on PSA and C18, the present method can save the pretreatment time, giving the high throughput analysis possible. It can also satisfy the requirement of the pesticide residue analysis, displaying good application prospect and provide a novel method for rapid determination of pesticide multiresidue in kiwifruit.
